Cutting Chai - My way

Remember when you were young and you really wanted to grow up and do grown up things ....I remember that feeling and also remember throwing a tantrum every time mom said I couldnt have tea because tea was for grown ups and not for 7 year olds like me.

So after repeated performances of throwing my head back falling on the floor and kicking my legs all round I guess my mother got sick of me and decided to fix this once and for all !

She did give me tea but as you will discover in a bit there are no tea leaves in this recipe ...its more like a herbal infusion and boy did it make me feel good and grown up and responsible and prim and proper all at once :))

Growing up in Dehradoon this herbal infusion had many benefits .....ofcourse it prevented me from embarrassing my mother in front of her friends - all she had to do when tea was served was to tell me that I could go home and have my very own cup of grown up "tea", so I dint need to do my very special performance:)) !Winters were cold in Doon and while growing up cough and cold were dear friends of mine......so this herbal "tea" helped soothe sore throats as well!

To this day I dont drink tea or coffee ....I think my "tea" tastes better than the real deal .....

So today I thought I'd steal a little time for myself and stop and do something I havent done in a long time...call an old school friend I havent spoken to in 10 years and make me a cup of tea my way!

About Me

Hello! I am Aditi and I'm so glad you're here.I am a management professional by day and I love to cook and bake.
I quite enjoy spending time in the kitchen ...
The main reason I cook is because I love sharing meals with friends and family.
I’m captivated by the role that sharing food around a table has played in relationships and communities throughout history. Most of my favorite , earliest memories ,laughs and stories have been shared together around the dinner table.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
With so many blogs and so little time in a day, the fact that anyone other than my sister & mother would actually take the time read one word I write is nothing short of amazing.
I hope you find something interesting while you are here :))
